About Jennifer

I have had the privilege to help people for the past 30 years. I've worked in many different environments most recently with people on dialysis. For the past 9+ years, I specialized in kidney disease. Prior to working with this wonderful group of people, I worked in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and counseled clients in an outpatient setting. I've dedicated my work life to counseling patients on issues that have already occurred like after a heart attack or stroke or undiagnosed/ignored high blood pressure or diabetes. I will continue to do so as it is common to want to make healthier habits when something happens. I also believe in prevention. Let's work on moving and eating to Nourish our body. Know when enough is enough and understand what our bodies need to thrive and feel good!

Approach to care

My approach to care is to encourage healthy food choices backed by scientific evidence. I focus on including wholesome foods, behavior change and encourage you to "know your numbers". I am avoidant of fads and trends but can interpret why they may have a sliver of benefit.

Your first session with Jennifer

Our first session will be getting to know each other and the Nourish platform and set some goals. We will discuss how consulting with a Nourish Dietitian could benefit you and a timeline of the next few weeks appointments. I like to have weekly sessions in the beginning to ensure you are getting the most out of Nourish.
